Russell Brand Does Not Want PIRATES 4

Russell Brand is an interesting guy though I suspect he could be as annoying in real life as he is on screen. So when talk turns to the potential for his involvement in “Pirates of the Caribbean 4” I’m not surprised to hear a dismissive response:

“There’s been some talk of doing a ‘Pirates’ movie,” Russell told Billy Bush for AccessHollywood.com and “The Billy Bush Show.” “But, I’ve got eight other things to do [including] ‘Get Him To The Greek’ with Judd Apatow… So I don’t know if there’ll be time to be a pirate, I’ve got enough of that in me private life.”

While nothing is confirmed, Russell indicated there is every possibility something may happen after, of course, he reprises his “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” character Aldous Snow, in “Get Him To The Greek.”

“A possibility, yes,” he told Billy. “I think it’s a possibility.”

I don’t really blame him. Coming on to that franchise at this point would be like showing up at the gym tomorrow with Reebok Pumps and trying to impress your friends. “Pirates” is over, please move along.
